Impressed by Anakin’s skill with the Force, the Jedi Council quickly conferred upon him the status of General and Jedi Knight at the war’s outset. Anakin led the 501st Legion of clone troopers on many campaigns, with Clone Captain Rex serving under him.
Anakin’s brash nature and bold talk often placed him at odds with the other Jedi, many of whom view Anakin as a loose-cannon — albeit an exceptionally talented one. In an effort to teach Anakin responsibility, Master Yoda gave him a Padawan learner, 14-year-old Ahsoka Tano. Though they were as different as a Master and his apprentice could be, Anakin and Ahsoka quickly found a common ground, which left Yoda wondering whether the responsibility of mentorship would actually calm Anakin’s wild ways, or if he’d simply pass them on to his new Padawan.
Anakin is shown here with his lightsaber drawn and ready for action! This animated maquette stands approximately 9″ tall and 11.5″ including lightsaber.
